Know when Claude's usage limits change.
The 5-hour window, the weekly cap, the surprise flushes and the boosts that quietly expire. Reset Radar keeps the whole picture in one place and tells you the moment anything moves.
The trend
Claude's limit headroom over time
How much you can actually use, indexed to each limit's introduction level (100). Steps up are doublings and boosts; steps down are promotions ending. Dashed means announced or projected, not yet history.
The record
Every limit change on record
Announced changes first, then history, newest on top. Projections are marked and never mixed in with facts. Click any row for details and sources.

Questions
Questions people ask
When does Claude usage reset?
The 5-hour window resets five hours after your first message, per user. Weekly caps reset on a rolling 7-day anchor. There is no global reset o'clock; your own apps show your times, and the calculator above works them out from your anchors.
Why did my usage bar reset early?
Usually one of four things: your 5-hour window rolled over, your weekly cap reset on its anchor, Anthropic flushed everyone's counters (as on May 15, 2026), or a promotion started or ended. Check the timeline; if nothing matches, report it and watch whether others saw the same.
Where does the data come from?
Anthropic's status page and announcements, press and community documentation (linked on every event), and reader reports, which we only ever show in aggregate. Curated facts and crowd signal are always labeled apart.
Can you tell whether a reset hit everyone or just me?
Partly. Reports carry plan and optional country, so a spike across plans and countries within minutes reads as global, while a cluster in one plan or region points at a scoped change. One report alone proves little, which is why the signal meter shows volume.
Is this an official Anthropic site?
No. Reset Radar is independent, with no affiliation to Anthropic. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC; we reference it only to describe what we track, and your own Claude apps remain the authoritative source.
